Enough times to have gotten good at it Lol............Hi All!!!! My name is Kate and I am a nicotine addict.I smoked for 36 years so smoking was a huge part of my life. My quit date is 12/29/2011. I would fight and fight to quit. Now I am 53 days quit and I am protecting my quit at all cost. This is one quit I Never want to lose.

I don't have home internet so I just wanted to write this blog while I could to re-introduce myself. I wish I could send pretty comments and blog when I want to and all that good stuff. I would love all the support I can get and offer my support in return. Congratulations Everyone!!!!!!!!!

The number of time you paused is not something that matters! This is your quit! Make it your forever quit! Take possesion of it and own it! It is yours and no one can take it away! Be proud of it! The way a New Grandmother is proud of her Grandchild! Nourish it! Protect it! Hold it close, until the day it is strong enough to stand on it's own! Then, always keep an eye on it, so it does not stumble and fall! This is your life! Live it like it is the only one you get!              Tommy

Hi Kate!  I, too, have been a "serial" quitter.  CONGRATS on your 53 days!!!!  That is HUGE!! 

The last time I blew my quit, I realized just how important it was to me.  Now I do protect it at ALL COSTS.   There is nothing more important to me for today than having a good SMOKE FREE day.  Yes, I have alot of stress at work, and yes, sometimes my day is quite chaotic but there is not ONE REASON for me to smoke.  So glad you checked in with us...........Keep up with your great attitude.

Hi Kate!  I'm new to this.  I've been smoking for over 40 yrs.  I'm a professional quitter also.  I've quit for 3 yrs, 5yrs, and my most recent another 5 yrs and I started up again.  I have noticed at first it's great, but now, I'm focusing on health risks, costs and the discussing smell.  No one in my family knows I smoke.  My kids, grandkids think I'm still a nonsmoker.  I need to retain that status!

Good luck to you and all of us!

Peace out!
